Italian Therapists in Chestnut Hill - Philadelphia, PA 19118

"I enjoy working with young adults and adults (both individual and couples) who want to grow and find balance through the challenges that come with life transitions (e.g., surrounding relationships, work, parenthood, school). Given my own international upbringing and my experience in multicultural counseling, I also enjoy working with clients of diverse and/or international backgrounds and people who experience value/identity conflicts (e.g., between spirituality and sexual orientation, between different value systems within a relationship or family)."

"'Rewrite your past and your coping strategies will flourish'. No matter how strange or painful our life or relationships are, we can understand them to minimize their power to damage us today and tomorrow. We should not deny tragedy when it visits us. And yet, we can re-conceive of most situations to make them more manageable. This is the most gratifying work we can do as people. I am a thoroughly experienced diagnostician who has trained in all popular theories of human development, with an especially strong background in women's issues. I have treated patients from highly diverse backgrounds."

"My speciality is working with individuals experiencing issues with panic, phobias, anxiety, depression, over-eating, grief and trauma. My approach is to first identify coping strategies to deal with the current stress and emotional strain by focusing on strengths and existing coping mechanisms. Together, we sort out the underlying problems and identify more effective coping strategies to deal with every day stressors and overwhelming emotional reactions to current and past trauma. I think the relationship between therapist and client is really important for growth and change; and do my best to provide a warm, natural, humorous and relaxed atmosphere."

"In life, it's easy to stay on autopilot. While there are times when being on autopilot works for us, there are other times when it doesn't. Through years of studying and practicing psychotherapy, I have become highly skilled at helping my patients to stop living on autopilot, and, instead, to start making CHOICES. Psychotherapy is a process of getting incrementally more honest with yourself. As therapy unfolds and you begin to know yourself more deeply, you can start to examine whether you are living the life you want, and if not, how you want it to change."

"I work with children of all ages to do assessment, consultation and therapy. A good deal of my professional time is devoted to psychological evaluation of children, adolescents and young adults with learning, behavioral and emotional issues. I use individually administered instruments, together with history, observations and input from parents and teachers, to clarify learning issues, formulate diagnoses and develop educational strategies and recommendations, including accommodations for standardized testing. I also do less formal consultation with parents around school placement and specific problems."

"The parent-child relationship is one of the most significant relationships we will have; it can be life-giving in more ways than one. It can also be stressful at times, and often needs support and encouragement. Would you like to enhance and strengthen your relationship with your child? Would you like to support your child's ability to manage his/her emotions? Do you need help understanding and communicating with your child? Is your child worried, anxious or troubled and needing extra support?"
